Advanced Vision (AV)

I have taken note of the feedback from students in this course
survey, and have the following comments in response.

We plan to add some structured but not assessed activities for the labs.

We will add content on Deep Learning for Object Recognition.

We will keep the team practicals. 1) There is the self-tutoring effect (students
learn more). 2) It's good team working experience and most of the time it works well.

One could simply watch the videos, read the notes and not come to
class, as with any course. Here, the in-class activities are designed
to clear up confusing points and re-inforce concepts. The short videos are
also designed to be short and concept focussed, because evidence shows
that human memory retention decays to almost nothing by 20-30 minutes.
There is also much benefit to being able to rewatch the videos for non-English
speaking students.
